? Target Load Machines ?

[pitbullrocco]

anyone use those or even have them at their gym? they are basically weighted machines with 3 different load racks that suppose to target different parts of the muscle fibers......kinda like the ol' POF technique.....

i tried a few yesterday and man i do likey.....feeling real good today

are they worth messing with?

IF you progress week to week in either weight or reps than I don't see why not - although I don't use the machines for anything but to hang my towel on.

so they don't work for you? or you just don't want to try 'em out?

I like them on some exercises like preacher curls where your biceps are weakest at the bottom stretch and top contraction, these machines put the most resistance in the middle, where your muscle is strongest. I incorporate maybe 1 machine out of 4-5 exercises for each bodypart and I've found these to be quite good for most people.

I use them periodically for every body part,

Like mentioned above, the preacher curl and for hamstrings and glutes, Traps, chest
